Best New Canadian Course 1993 – Third, Golf Digest

Unveiled in 1992 to acclaim that has never abated, National Pines is among the courses that established Tom McBroom as a premier architect. It reflects a designer who can cleverly integrate difficult natural hazards into a challenging but fair course. Lover's Creek is knit into the fabric of this parkland course, snaking across and around nearly every hole. Towering pines line fairways accented by bold bunkering while multi-tiered greens make it a great test of shot-making and short-game acumen. Savoured by all ranges of golfers, National Pines is a well-balanced challenge, but it also demands a golfer hit a great show from time to time, such as the sixth which requires a precision approach to a tilted green edging a gully. National Pines is among the favourite courses of ClubLink Members and Ontario's elite amateurs.
